Outcomes

In this lesson you will

• Discover how the terms in row n of Pascal's triangle can be used to give the coefficients of the terms that result when the expression (x+1)ⁿ is expanded and simplified.

By the end of this section you should be able to:

• Demonstrate an understanding of binomial expansion and its connection to combinations.
• Connect Pascal's triangle with combinatorial coefficients.

Prerequisites

To be successful in this lesson, it would be helpful to know the following:

• Pascal's triangle.
• How to expand binomials.
